Three secondary data sources were used to identify bar locations for inclusion in the Part 1 sampling frame. Alcohol licensing information for local businesses was obtained from the Division of Liquor Control, which is an office within the Ohio Department of Commerce. Two additional data sources were used to cross-reference the alcohol licensing information: (1) a list of bars reviewed by CinWeekly (a weekly tabloid that annually writes reviews of local bars), and (2) bars listed in local yellow pages (www.cincinnatibellyellowpages.com).
Cincinnati Police Department Records (Part 1 and 2)
Data regarding land use were obtained from the Hamilton County Auditor's Office to identify land parcels as "apartments" for inclusion in the Part 2 sampling frame. Geographic data were obtained from the Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System (CAGIS). Street networks obtained from CAGIS were used to geocode land parcel data from the Auditor's Office. Cincinnati neighborhood boundaries were also obtained from CAGIS. Data from the 2000 Census were obtained from ESRI's online repository of Census data.
